If you've traveled to Lagos before, you will know that it is a vibrant, busy city. Traffic can be a real challenge and there is just so much intensity around you, you need and look forward to a place that you can relax in, in the evenings. Southern Sun Ikoyi offers this and is recommendable for anyone needing to stay... More

I have stayed in most of the "top" hotels in Lagos and sadly the only thing "top" about the vast majority is the prices. That comment is including and especially related to a number of the newer entrants and international brands. I am happy to say that Southern Sun hotel does NOT fall into that category. Its room rates my... More

As Lagos becomes more security conscious, safety was on my mind anyway. I was therefore pretty alarmed when someone opened my door and tried to enter at 5am. Fortunately I had placed the chain (bar) on the door, so he was unsuccessful. I went to the door and there was someone in a porter's uniform outside. I told him I... More

I liked a lot about this hotel, but there were a few drawbacks. Make sure you have access to transportation if you stay here. If (like me) your employer doesn't let you use taxis and you don't have transportation, the hotel can get pretty dull after a few days. At night, the bar is very quiet - mostly limited to... More
